Many reviews here repeat the complaint that the documentary (Pupper Master, currently streaming on Netflix) is much better than this movie.
I've watched both, and I can honestly say that one can't compare apples and oranges.
This movie is BASED on the true story; therefore, it has artistic license, which allows it to divert from the real case.
I found the scenario quite credible, with gradual, logical development. The cast is well chosen, and does a good job, except the woman playing the American agent, who obviously can't act.
It's frustrating to find out that a despicable, dangerous con man who is sentenced to life in prison, gets out of jail 4 years later.
There's more than one lesson to learn from this movie.
